As pet parents, we dread the thought of our fur-children ever getting sick enough to require emergency care. Unfortunately, accidents and illnesses do occur, so our exceptional emergency care teams are here to help in your time of need.
Similar to intensive care units within human medicine, Critical Care is a specialty branch of veterinary medicine dedicated to providing around-the-clock care for pets with serious medical conditions.
Critical care involves especially close monitoring and intensive management of pets whose conditions may be rapidly changing. An Emergency & Critical Care Specialist is a veterinarian extensively trained in a diverse range of advanced veterinary care, from ventilation to emergency procedures. They focus on providing life-supporting treatment to the sickest of pets, giving them the best chance of survival.
Internal Medicine is a specialty branch of veterinary medicine involving the treatment and management of more complex conditions affecting pets’ internal organs that often coincide with chronic illnesses. Conditions that cannot be effectively managed by your family veterinarian alone will often receive a consult or be referred to an internal medicine specialist to receive a second opinion or to pursue more advanced care options.
Surgery covers a vast sub-sect of veterinary medicine, including complex orthopedic and soft tissue procedures. Within our Thrive Pet Healthcare network, you can access surgical services on both the primary care and specialty level so whatever your pet’s surgical needs, our trusted veterinarians and surgical specialists are here for you.
Radiology encompasses a diverse range of diagnostic imaging including X-ray, Ultrasound, and MRI. We utilize the most up-to-date, cutting-edge technology operated by specially trained veterinary professionals.
Our Veterinary Radiologists have additional education, training, and experience in the field, enabling them to work seamlessly with primary, specialty, and emergency care clinicians to provide advanced image interpretation on acute and complex medical cases.
Computed Tomography (CT) scans use many X-rays at different angles to create 3D cross-sectional images of the body in very high resolution. This advanced radiographic equipment is an excellent diagnostic tool, allowing both soft tissues and bones to be evaluated in just one image.
CT scans are very effective in detecting tumors and identifying diseases in a pet’s thorax, nasal cavity, and abdomen. Since the pet must be completely still throughout the scan, anesthesia is typically required.
Upon our arrival at your veterinarian’s hospital, we are intimately involved with your veterinarian and your pet’s healthcare team in the perioperative patient preparation and oversight. It is important that you know that you and your pet’s best interests are foremost in our mind and we would like to share the dedication and commitment we have. A review of this section will help you to understand the overall team commitment we have for the best interests of your pet. Some clients have asked if we are only an orthopedic surgery practice.

Veterinary oncology teams within our Thrive Pet Healthcare community work closely with referring and primary care veterinarians to provide advanced cancer treatment for pets. Your pet’s oncology team can perform a thorough evaluation, utilizing state-of-the-art diagnostics to gain a deep understanding of the disease behavior. From there, a personalized treatment plan will be determined to treat or manage your pet’s cancer.
Our community’s outstanding orthopedic veterinarians and surgeons use breakthrough research within the field to implement advanced therapies, such as CrCL surgeries like TPLO surgery, fracture repair, and innovative devices. These are all designed to help improve or conserve your pet’s mobility following traumatic accident, illness, or age-related condition.
Pet owners commonly refer to CrCL surgery as an ACL surgery, however CrCL surgery is the medically accurate term. ACL surgery is the human equivalent treatment.
A common form of cruciate or knee surgery is TPLO surgery. Your pet’s orthopedic veterinarian will be able to help decide which type of CrCL surgery is ideal for your pet. It's important to note that these surgeries are commonly referred to by pet owners as ACL surgery, however CrCL surgery is the medically accurate term. ACL surgery is the human equivalent treatment.
TPLO surgery changes the angle between the thigh bone and the shin bone. The goal is to lessen how much the tibia shifts forward during a stride and it is achieved through an incision, rotation of the tibia, and then insertion of a bone plate. TPLO surgery helps create a stifle (knee) that is stable without the torn cruciate ligament. The medial meniscus is also evaluated at the time of surgery and if torn removed. At times, a releasing incision of the meniscus is done to help prevent a future tear.

Radiology
DVM, DACVR
Dr. Sandy VanCamp graduated from the University of Missouri in 1995 with a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) degree. After spending some time practicing small animal medicine in New Jersey, Dr. VanCamp realized that radiology was her true passion. Shortly after completing her Radiology Residency at North Carolina State University, she became a board-certified Veterinary Radiologist and a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Radiologists (ACVR). In 1999, Dr. VanCamp moved to Colorado to help teach the next generation of radiologists at the Colorado State University Teaching Hospital. Dr. VanCamp’s next endeavor was to start a mobile ultrasound practice. By traveling to family veterinarians to perform ultrasounds, Dr. VanCamp enables them to provide an important diagnostic tool that they may not have been able to offer otherwise. Providing this service is important to Dr. VanCamp as she believes that no matter where they live all animals deserve the best care. Dr. VanCamp also acts as a “second set of eyes” by reviewing radiographs (x-rays) for family and specialty veterinarians. By reviewing these radiographs, Dr. VanCamp helps to ensure that these patients are receiving the correct and best treatment for their ailment. Although her true passion is ultrasound and radiology, Dr. VanCamp enjoys all aspects of imaging. Dr. VanCamp’s life’s goal is to provide the best possible care for all animals no matter the financial constraints of the owner. Dr. VanCamp has developed close relationships with Northern Colorado’s family veterinarians through her mobile practice. These relationships allow her to advocate for and find the best treatments for her patients. During her free time, Dr. VanCamp loves to hike, ride her dirt bike, and enjoy the outdoors. During the winter Dr. VanCamp loves to sit by the fire with her cats Sheldon and Merlin. She is so proud of her two sons who provide her with much joy and laughter.
